Deuteronomio 10

Studie

   

1 EN aquel tiempo Jehová me dijo: Lábrate dos tablas de piedra como las primeras, y sube á mí al monte, y hazte un arca de madera:

2 Y escribiré en aquellas tablas palabras que estaban en las tablas primeras que quebraste; y las pondrás en el arca.

3 E hice un arca de madera de Sittim, y labré dos tablas de piedra como las primeras, y subí al monte con las dos tablas en mi mano.

4 Y escribió en las tablas conforme á la primera escritura, las diez palabras que Jehová os había hablado en el monte de en medio del fuego, el día de la asamblea; y diómelas Jehová.

5 Y volví y descendí del monte, y puse las tablas en el arca que había hecho; y allí están, como Jehová me mandó.

6 (Después partieron los hijos de Israel de Beerot-bene-jacaam á Moserá: allí murió Aarón, y allí fué sepultado; y en lugar suyo tuvo el sacerdocio su hijo Eleazar.

7 De allí partieron á Gudgod, y de Gudgod á Jotbath, tierra de arroyos de aguas.

8 En aquel tiempo apartó Jehová la tribu de Leví, para que llevase el arca del pacto de Jehová, para que estuviese delante de Jehová para servirle, y para bendecir en su nombre, hasta hoy.

9 Por lo cual Leví no tuvo parte ni heredad con sus hermanos: Jehová es su heredad, como Jehová tu Dios le dijo.)

10 Y yo estuve en el monte como los primeros días, cuarenta días y cuarenta noches; y Jehová me oyó también esta vez, y no quiso Jehová destruirte.

11 Y díjome Jehová: Levántate, anda, para que partas delante del pueblo, para que entren y posean la tierra que juré á sus padres les había de dar.

12 Ahora pues, Israel, ¿qué pide Jehová tu Dios de ti, sino que temas á Jehová tu Dios, que andes en todos sus caminos, y que lo ames, y sirvas á Jehová tu Dios con todo tu corazón, y con toda tu alma;

13 Que guardes los mandamientos de Jehová y sus estatutos, que yo te prescribo hoy, para que hayas bien?

14 He aquí, de Jehová tu Dios son los cielos, y los cielos de los cielos: la tierra, y todas las cosas que hay en ella.

15 Solamente de tus padres se agradó Jehová para amarlos, y escogió su simiente después de ellos, á vosotros, de entre todos los pueblos, como en este día.

16 Circuncidad pues el prepucio de vuestro corazón, y no endurezcáis más vuestra cerviz.

17 Porque Jehová vuestro Dios es Dios de dioses, y Señor de señores, Dios grande, poderoso, y terrible, que no acepta persona, ni toma cohecho;

18 Que hace justicia al huérfano y á la viuda; que ama también al extranjero dándole pan y vestido.

19 Amaréis pues al extranjero: porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en tierra de Egipto.

20 A Jehová tu Dios temerás, á él servirás, á él te allegarás, y por su nombre jurarás.

21 El es tu alabanza, y él es tu Dios, que ha hecho contigo estas grandes y terribles cosas que tus ojos han visto.

22 Con setenta almas descendieron tus padres á Egipto; y ahora Jehová te ha hecho como las estrellas del cielo en multitud.

Apocalypse Explained # 1121

1121. And a widow I am not, signifies that such are not without defense. This is evident from the signification of "a widow," as being one who is in the affection of good, and from that affection desires truth. Here a "widow" signifies 1 defense, thus "not a widow" means not without defense, because good with its affection does not defend itself, but is defended by truth and the understanding of it, "man" [vir], who defends it, signifying the understanding of truth, thus truth. For the marriage of man [vir] and woman is a complete likeness of the marriage of truth and good; since a man is born to be the understanding of truth, consequently that predominates in him, and woman is born to be the affection of good, consequently that predominates in her; and as good and truth mutually love each other and will to be conjoined, so do the understanding of truth and the affection or will of good. Moreover, the conjugial love of husband and wife derives its origin from the spiritual marriage of truth and good (See in the work on Heaven and Hell 366-386).

[2] "Widow" has the same signification here as in Isaiah:

Hear this, thou luxurious one, sitting securely, saying in thy heart, I and none like me besides. I shall not sit a widow, neither shall I know bereavement. But these two evils shall come to thee in a moment, bereavement and widowhood (Isaiah 47:8-9).

This, too, is said of Babylon, and it has the same signification as these words in Revelation, "A widow I am not, and mourning I shall not see, for this reason in one day shall her plagues come to thee, death, and mourning, and famine." Elsewhere in the Word "widows" signify those, both women and males, who are in good and not in truth and yet desire truth, thus those who are without defense against falsity and evil, but who are defended by the Lord. The term is used also in the contrary sense, as in Isaiah 9:17; 10:1, 2; Jeremiah 15:7-9; 22:3; 49:10-11; Lamentations 5:3; Ezekiel 22:6-7; David, Psalms 68:5; Psalms 146:9; Exodus 22:21-24; Deuteronomy 10:18; 27:19; Matthew 23:14; Luke 20:47.

(Continuation respecting the Athanasian Faith and respecting the Lord)

[3] Life regarded in itself, which is God, cannot create another that shall be the only life; for the life that is God is uncreate, continuous, and inseparable; and from this it is that God is one. But the life that is God can create forms out of substances that are not life, in which it can be, and give to them the appearance of living. Such forms are men; and since they are receptacles of life they could not when first created be anything else than images and likenesses of God; images from the reception of truth and likenesses from the reception of good; for life and its recipient are fitted to each other as the active and passive, but do not mingle. For this reason human forms, which are recipients of life, live, not from themselves, but from God who alone is life; consequently, as is well known, every good of love and every truth of faith is from God, and nothing of these is from man; for if man had the least portion of life as his own he would be able to will and do good from himself, and to understand and believe truth from himself, and thus to claim merit; and yet if he so believes, the form recipient of life closes itself above and becomes perverted, and intelligence perishes. Good and its love and truth and its faith are the life that is God, for God is good itself and truth itself; and therefore in these God dwells in man. And from all this it follows, that man of himself is nothing, and is something only so far as he receives from the Lord, and at the same time acknowledges that it is not his own but is the Lord's; then the Lord gives him to be something; yet not from himself but from the Lord.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Absque (without) has been omitted in Latin text; "widow" signifies defense; but it is inserted in explanation at the end of the number, "widows" signify "without defense."
